Officials responded to an early morning crash of a car into water Thursday.

According to scanner transmissions, Norton Police and Fire responded to the area of 48 Bay Road just before 6:00 a.m. after a call came into dispatch for a car into Winnecunnet Pond near the Chateau Restaurant.

A 37-year-old woman was out of the car when responders arrived on scene.

Dispatch reported that the vehicle was approximately 6 feet into the water.

According to The Sun Chronicle, the female driver from Fall River lost control of her car and was later taken to Morton Hospital in Taunton as a precaution.
